In Old KentnckY DAYS.

In general the laws were perhaps the mild
est. Some it is vital to the subject in hand
not to pass over If slaves were inhun,anly
treated by their owner or not supplied with
proper food and clothing, they could be
taken from him and sold to better master.
This law was not imperative. 1 have in
mind the instance of a family who lost their
negroes in this way, were socially disgraced,
and left their neighborhood. If the owner
of g slave had bought him on condition of
not selling him out of the county, or into the
southern states, or so as to separate him from
his family, he could be sued for violation of
contract. This law shows the opposition of
the better class of Kentucky masters to the
slave trade, and their peculiar regard for the
family ties of their negroes.
In the earliest Kentucky newspapers will
be found advertisements of the sales of
negroes on condition that they would be
bought and kept within the county or the
state. 1t was within chancery jurisdiction
to prevent the separation Of families The
case may be mentioned Of a master who was
tried by his church for unnecessarily sepa-
rating husband from his wife Sometimes
slaves who had been liberated and had gone
to Canada voluntarily returned into service
under their former masters. Lest these
should be overreached they were to be taken
aside and examined by the court to see that
they understood the consequences of their
own action and were free from improper con-
traint. On the other hand, if slave had
right to his freedom he could file bill in
chancery and enforce his masters assent

the worlds people Where there are thou
sands of the rich, there are millions of the
poor This is very apparent in Oriental
lands, where most of the people are distress
ingly poor. Ten cents is thought to be good
pay for a days work Many men who till
the land for others cannot afford to eat the
rice they raise, but they eat millet, and pick
the kernels of corn from the cob after it has
been baked hard and dry. They live in mud
cabins without windows, and no place for
fire except hole in the ground For dress
they wrap around the body strip of cloth;
for beds they use rough boards or the
bare ground. In India thousands have
no home at all In Bombay they go to roost
like chickens on the curbstones of the streets
1t is sad sight to see long lines of the poor
creatures thus seated for the night. When
they hear the sound of singing by some band
of Christians who have come out to hold an
open air meeting for their benefit they gather
around and listen to the Gospel of COOS news
with the greatest interest. There are thirty
places in Bombay where the missionaries and
their native helpers hold such meetings and
multitudes listen and many receive Christ.
The change which conversion makes in these
poor creatures is marvellous. From idleness
they 60 to industry, from filth to cleanliness,
from deepest gloom and poverty to joy and
comfort
But let none dare to pray for this who do
not also give and work as much as possible
The poor are calling aloud all over the world
for the Gospel. why did you not come and
tell Us before.' said a poor old woman in
China ''Why did not your mother tell my

HINTS For PRIMARY CLASSES.

BY ALICE W. KNOX.
The persons in this lesson are John and his
disciples, Jesus and the multitudes
State that John was in prison, not for any
wrong doing, but for confessing and teaching
Christ and faithfully rebuking sin. Herod,
the king, had ''laid hold on John and bound
him and put him in prison." etc.
The disciples of John used to visit him and
tell him of what things they had seen and
heard outside the prison. Among other
things they told John about the wonderful
works of Jesus. (Ask the children to repeat
some of those works.
These stories seemed very remarkable to
John, and he sent two of his disciples to say,
"Art thou her etc. (See V. 81 In the word
which Jesus sent back he speaks of six things
to prove that he was the Christ.
!. The blind receive their sight.-Give ex-
amples, as in Matt. *, 80; xii, %; XXX, "a;
Mark viii, %; John tx, Z. Isaiah had fore
told that Jesus would do such works more
than 700 years before Christ Yves born.
2. The lame walk.-CSee Matt. xxi, Il;
Luke vii, 22.)
8. The lepers are cleansed.-To see the
frightful lepers in India, Palestine and other
lands where this dreadful disease prevails

Iul Sucn cures were. rOr instances see uaJJ
viii, 8; Mark i, 40 AZ; Luke v, Is; xvii, IA.
4. The deaf hear.-Children who cannot
hear cannot learn to talk A young father
and mother began to fear that their baby boy
was deaf Neither spoke Of it to the other,
but each watched anxiously, and tried ex-
periments to test the child's hearing when
alone with it. At length their anxiety be-
came so great and their fear so strong that
they talked together about it, and decided to
fire a pistol in the room to see whether the
child would notice that loud sound. Alas!
the little creature kept on with its play with
out paying the least attention to the noise.
That settled it, and together the parents wept
and mourned. Imagine, if possible, how
great their joy would have been if by word
some noted physician had made that deaf
child able to hear But Jesus made the deaf
to hear. (See Mark vii, S5; tx, 25.l
5. The dead are raised-Most wonderful of
ALI The widows only son, and the only
brother Of the two loving sisters, are in
stances. (See Matt tx, p; Mark v, Al;
Luke vii, IA; viii, SIS; John xi.)
g. The poor have the Gospel preached to
them.-Jesus came to bring good tidings of
great joy to all people-the rich and poor,
the high and low. All the world over, the
poor are more ready to believe on Christ than
the rich are. To them the Gospel is good
news for this life and also for the world to
come. The rich are but very small part Of

Setting Trees and Shrubs.

As to the best time to set trees there
are different opinions, but experience
shows that while it is best to set some
trees in the autumn it is best to set
others in the spring. The American
elm. red and sugar maple and the white
ash. seem to do quite as well in October
as at any other season of the year, but
apple, pear and peach trees. as rule,
will do the best set in April, while the
white piDe, red cedar and hemlGck do
the best set in May. Some men will
set fruit trees of any kind in autumn
and have them do we'll, or better, than
others will to set them in The spring
The difference in the time of ssttiDg is
not SO great as the difference in the
method OF doing the work.
Uurrant and gOoseberry bushes should
be set in the autumn, for the soil is
never dry enough in the he'spriag to work
well uutil after the buds of both the
currant and gooseberry begin to open,
aud experience proves that unless set
before the buds open the first years
growth will not be half as much rs if
set in the autumn. When set in land
that is so full of moisture that the frost
will be likely to lift the bushes, deep
setting should be resorted to, aud ridges
of earth may be made to cover still
deeper.
While it is important to look closely
after newly set trees the first year. and
if in dry cultivated soil occasional
watering is resOrted to, it is quite as
important to look after them aud water
them the second year. for really more
trees die the secoDe year, after being
transplanted, than the first year. 1t u.s.
ually takes three years for a tree in an
uneultivsted soil to get well established
so as to go safely through dry season.
The difficulty is not so much in getting
people to set out trees as it is in con-
Vincing them of the Importance of car
ing for them. 1t is estimated by good
Judges that more than half of the trees
set fail to become full grown Trees te.

Look Out For Your Wells.

1t becomes more and more evident
each year that much of the sickness prev
alpnt in the country is directly attribnt
able to The quality Of tfe watra, is Il
sensible remrrk of the American Agri
ciuturist. BY careful studying the mat
ter it is found that in nine cases out OF
ten typhoid fevers originate in families
whose water supply is from well into
which impure water comes. This may
be from the farm yard. and quite gen.
orally such is the case. For some years
the water in the well near the house
may be pure and wholesome, but by
and-by the soil between 1t and the barn
yard will become so impregnated with
pullutiOn that an unhealthy quality will
be impaired to it, and disease will result
from Its use. This is almost sure To bp
the case when the distance between the
two is not great, because AS general
thing, the bottom of the we'll is lower
than the yard, aud the drainage from

through the more porous strata of soil,
and when il reaches the well it will nat
urally flow into it as reservoir No
matter how pure the water may have
been when the well was first dug, soon>
er or later it will be contaminated by
water flowing through the soil from
barn, yards aud cesspools located any
where near it. We have In mind case
in which four children died from dip
iberia. An examination by the physi
clan proved that the slOps from the
kitchen had 80 filed the soil for a dis
tance of twenty feet between the back
door. out of which they were thrown,
and the well. that the water In the lat
ter was polluted by foul gases. and from
the use of it diphtheria had certainly re-
suited. When making a well have it, if
possible, above the barn-yard, and let
the drainage be from it rather than into
it. Arrange a place for slops, with a
cement bottom and sides, from which
glazed pipes, cemented together, allow
the unhealthy matter to flow off and
away from the well.

RUsE OF AN ARTIST.

Natural Roses and Lilies Restored to q
Powdered and Painted Face.
There returned from Europe in the unlucky
Umbria fashionable woman, in whose face
it would probably have been impossible five
years ago to detect the pallor or flush of fear
She is a changed woman now, and in the
place of powder and paint natural roses and
lilies have full sway. The story of her con-
version to cleanly ways is unknown save to a
very few. She is a southern woman by birth
and came to New York five years ago in
order that G. P. r. Healy, the artist, might
paint her portrait. The time of the first sit
ting was appointed, but the young woman
came to the studio so bedizened with COS
meticS that every characteristic line was
obliterated. Mr.. Healy was, of course, in a
dilemma. He could not order the girl-as
Mrs. - was then-to go and wash her face.
He would lose his commission, and he is, be-
sides, too polite a gentleman. He could not
paint her as she was painted; it would not be
satisfactory TO the family. He thought the
matter over while lining in his sketch; then
rose from his chair, sat himself down beside
his subject, and kindly asked her if she was
feeling as well as usual Surprised, of course,
she replied that she was
But, Miss Jones, you walked from your

"Ah, yes, Miss Jones, but you see. though
you may not be feverish, there is so much

me. Now, tomorrow, if you will please be
so good, bathe your cheeks i'll cool water the
last thing, come in close carriage and stop
and rest yourself upon the sofa you will find
on each landing. In that way am sure "
shall have no more trouble
His speech had the desired effect. The hint

was perfectly natural and did not offerid Mr.

Art of instantaneous Photography.


instantaneous photography is an art that
Is very easy to learn. Even the cheapest of
instruments will do to take exceedingly good
instantaneous pictures. As the Waterbury
watch is 4 marvel Of cheapneSs in its particu-
lar line, so there is Waterbury camera that
costs only few dollars, and yet gives excel
lent pictures. l saw the other day some
photos taken with a camera that is worn un-
der the vest 1t looks like an old fashioned
warming pan without the handle and the
lens takes the place Of one Of the vest but
tons. Pull a string in the vest pocket and
you take a picture. Six pictures are taken
ON one plate. They are round and about an
inch and a half in diameter. The beauty Of
this device is that you can go along the street
with your hands in your pockets photograph
ing while the plate holds out l have never
tried one Of these concealed cameras, but
should imagine there would be a difficulty in
getting any particular person on the plate.
Perhaps practice would make it possible to
hit the mark every time. In the detective
cameras, which are also a recent invention,
you can see the picture you are taking on q
little glass plate set in the top of the box.
Then you run no risk in the matter Of marks
